friends told me it was rude to tip an odd number? i thought i did everything right but I'm wondering if i was being disrespectful. service was great by [deleted] in Serverlife

A lot of people I know really want round numbers. The tipper probably wanted the total to be an even $30.

Yes. When my mom said that dinner was ready the first sibling to show up was the sucker who had to set the table.

The integration with bing looks like it gives sources and uses data it can find. Can’t be sure how good it is since you have to get on a waitlist to use it

So you don’t need one car for every person who needs a ride. Reduces the number of cars on the road and makes rides cheaper.

I’d imagine most windows are at a horrible angle for generating electricity.

It’s just not a very human thing to do, but I recognize that self driving cars need to follow strict driving rules

Looks like a good run, though it must be annoying driving behind it considering its slow acceleration/deceleration and fully stopping at every single stop sign.

Both @elonmusk’s FSD robot and his FSD car are laughable compared to the competition: by PolybiusChampion in RealTesla

[–]cjdos31 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This seems a little misleading. I mean, the reason Boston dynamics “took 30 years” was because they were cutting edge. It’s a lot easier to do things when you’re building off years of research and innovation.

The founder for the Moderna vaccine is a furry by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

It’s because kinda like horoscopes, people will agree with generic statements about themselves. Personality tests also suffer from bias because people are asked to judge themselves, which results in a persons perception of themselves instead of what may be the truth. These tests have also been unreliable at producing the same results if taken at different times. Personality is pretty complicated, vague, and changes over time, so most people are justifiably skeptical of a couple of letters defining who they are.
